I do have a github account even and understand the basics, but still felt like this is such a minor thing that it's better done in a bigger change instead of filling up the changelog like that(at least that's what I was once told, still think it depends on case) is it possible to do a pull request without adding the file to one's own github?

Code: [Select]

    list.append(("Casualty","Bee",{'invertible':True,'nose':math.pi,'whip':around,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turnspeed':2.5,'turn':60,'radius':0.3,'range':99,'weapons':(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12)}))
Every single robot past this bindings line crashes the game, including this one. What's the deal?

[apanx]

You missed some double quotes for the whip function specification

Code: [Select]

Managed to edit together a new AI code. No idea if this has been done before, but I figured it'd be useful.

This AI, as you can probably tell by its name, is a small variation on the standard Omni py file. Instead of switching to the Shove tactic when its weapons runs out, it instead switches to Evade (which is within Tactics_2.py, which I've included in the rar for ease of access). So instead of suiciding onto the opponent's remaining weapons, it runs away.

Anyone have an AI .py file that works with full-body spinners? Not SnS, I'm talking something like this:


where the chassis spins, but the drive doesn't.

I talked to apanx on discord about it but it doesn't seem like there's one readily available. I'm still kinda clueless about the whole python thing (the one i posted a few days ago was a pretty easy copy/paste job) so I'm basically stuck.

I guess the regular HS ones won't work for some reason because the AI's using the chassis for directions?

Yes, obviously.


Maybe you could try AI-ing it like a non-melty SnS, so it just spins in place then moves when its getting counted out?

Glad to see people are still using and adapting my Omni.py

Didn't know if it was still useful for people to AI their bots or if they had moved to something majorily different. That was some 12ish years ago.

Yeah omni is still the standard for most bots.

I've got a question. Is it possible for me to do some AI-ing for the Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack? I've noticed that there are 3 copies of The Bull in the AI Teams and I want to replace 2 of them with my Dextrus and Granite Grinder replicas. But because it's just a beta, I'm not sure if it's possible to do it.

[Badnik96]

what

every copy of ra2 is the same, you can ai in all of them

[IceCreamRulez]

Never mind it's fine. While scrolling through the Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack thread, I found some files that Wham had uploaded which contained the AOD and ED robots. Beckatron and Dextrus were in those files and since they were AI-d, I figured I could just add them to the mod  Still no sign of The Plague though, no idea where that one is at.

If I were to start my Tournament, would anyone AI for me?

I'm afraid not...

3)   If you cannot AI, do not start a thread until you have found someone who is willing to AI for you learn how to! The best place to ask for help is the General Tournament Discussion Thread.

do you know if there's a way to get this ai to evade without losing any components first?

[Badnik96]

yeah, just replace engage (the standard tactic) with evade

[Lightning S.]

in the bindings?

[Badnik96]

in the .py itself
